Simple utility for installing and updating safe-related components.
You can choose to run the installation for safeup as the current user or with sudo. The difference between them is the install location and modification of the shell profile. If running with sudo, safeup will be installed to /usr/local/bin; otherwise it will be installed to ~/.local/bin and the Bash shell profile will be modified to add that location to the PATH variable. For almost any Linux-based or macOS installation, /usr/local/bin is already available on PATH as standard.
To install as sudo, use the following:
curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/maidsafe/safeup/main/install.sh | sudo bash
Otherwise:
curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/maidsafe/safeup/main/install.sh | bash
This process will download and install safeup for your platform.
The install script also accepts two flag arguments, namely --client and --node. If either are used, the script will invoke the installed safeup binary to install autonomi and safenode, respectively, without having to run either as an additional post-install step.
To use these options as sudo:
curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/maidsafe/safeup/main/install.sh | sudo bash -s -- --client
Otherwise:
curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/maidsafe/safeup/main/install.sh | bash -s -- --client
On Windows, we are currently not supporting installing either safeup or the other binaries with Administrator privileges, so there is only one command:
iex (Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/maidsafe/safeup/main/install.ps1")
The Powershell installer does not support the --client or --node arguments because it's not possible to pass them when the script is downloaded.
Therefore, installing any components on Windows is an additional post-safeup-installation step.
Use the client, node or testnet commands to install the latest versions of the autonomi, safenode or testnet binaries, respectively.
As above, you can choose to run safeup using sudo, depending on where you'd like your binaries installed. Again, this does not apply to Windows, where we don't support running with Administrator privileges.
